Do you ever have moments when your mind drifts off to a particular event in your life and you think, “damn…. how did I live through that?”
My mind just drifted to a time when an ex-girlfriend and I were driving on the highway during an icy snowstorm. As we drove, we saw headlights beaming back at us and, within seconds of saying, “wait thats not right,” there was a loud BANG!
The headlight was a pickup truck that slid backward on the highway from black ice. We hit the truck head on and spent in circles quickly coming to a stop where we were once again looking at headlights. But this time, it was a simi truck coming straight towards us and pushing his horn. We began to panic, for we knew it was now a done deal. I screamed to just close your eyes, and we wrapped our arms quickly around one another before feeling another intense BANG.
I then heard screaming for me to hurry and get out of the car. I opened my eyes, and my ex and I were in the middle of the highway, which happened to be grass. I could taste the dust from the air bag and had loud ringing in my ears, but I quickly unbuckled my seatbeat. We both jumped out of the car, where we also saw that pickup truck nearby in the middle, and a couple of cars stopped to help us. As we stood outside the totaled car, a person came up asking if we were ok and then quickly said, “It’s a miracle you survived. “
We learned that the pickup truck was spinning in circles and hit us again, but this time, it hit us out of the way of that semi truck just in time.
There are moments in our life where we can look back and wonder, “Why… how did I survive that” but for me, the answer will always be the same. “Im meant to still be here because I have work to do, love to share, and a message to share.” God makes no mistakes… the Universe is near you! There may be things that we feel are unfair in our lives, but we have to step back and ask, what lesson am I meant to learn from this.
I want to remind you that there’s a reason you’re still here… š
